Lower bounds on quantum annealing times

LP García-Pintos, LT Brady, J Bringewatt, YK Liu - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
The adiabatic theorem provides sufficient conditions for the time needed to prepare a target
ground state. While it is possible to prepare a target state much faster with more general …

Gate-based counterdiabatic driving with complexity guarantees

D van Vreumingen - arXiv preprint arXiv:2406.08064, 2024 - arxiv.org
We propose a general, fully gate-based quantum algorithm for counterdiabatic driving. The
algorithm does not depend on heuristics as in previous variational methods, and exploits …
